PSE Hunter: I see your using Blackhorn powder and a non QRBP on your Optima. Do you have a BH BREECH PLUG installed or the original BREECH PLUG.
I have an older Wolf, a CVA APEX and now a CVA Optima V2 pistol and only the pistol has the QRBP. I was wanting to try BH209 but didn't want to have to buy new breech plugs.

Opening day I will be using my Apex with a Vortex CrossfireII 3-9x40 ,100grains of White Hots, 250 grain Hornady SST and Winchester 209 primer.
As a back up or up close shot I will carry my virgin optima V2 pistol with 85 grains of Pyrodex, a Hornady 250 SST and a Wincester 209 primer.

I actually have the original breech plug but it has been modified to the specs as the BH breech plug i'm not sure about the QRBP but the other two would not be a problem to fix and i'll be gald to do it for you.. send me a pm

[GunnSmokeer]

Savage model 10, in .243 caliber.
Not an accu-trigger model. This one's older.
The trigger is OK, and the rifle's accuracy is better than I could ever hope to match under real-world hunting conditions.
No recoil, but as much noise and muzzle blast as any other big-game rifle.

P.S. since this photo was taken, I added a cheek pad to the stock so that I could get cheek weld even when looking through this scope.

(The scope is just a cheap thing-- Tasco, I think it is. 3x -9x. Nothing to brag about, but it works. I've taken it out in the woods at dawn, and dusk, and I can see things through it that I can't see with my naked eyes.)

I guess I just don't understand how your rifle qualifys as a Muzzleloader. Besides the rifle is illegal anyway, .44 is the minimum caliber for big game in Georgia.
You do realize that Primitive Weapons season starts tomorrow, the general season starts next saturday?
When I think of a Primitive Weapon it will be along the lines of this one.
